As the box office of "Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child" surpassed 8 billion, a series of creative derivative contents have also gone viral online. Among them, a video made by the Douyin user "Cao Mao Dudu," featuring a cat taking care of Ne Zha, has sparked a new wave of online excitement with over 900,000 interactions.
This creative video portrays the cat as a loving "guardian": from discovering Ne Zha passed out in the rain, to taking care of him, cooking delicious meals, and even chatting while Ne Zha is taking a bath, it all showcases a strong "grandma taking care of a child" vibe. The video cleverly ties back to the movie's theme with the line "Let's go see the Heavenly Palace together" at the end.
However, observant netizens have spotted some amusing flaws, such as the detail of the cat "cutting its little paw" while chopping vegetables. More netizens have focused on the plot holes, humorously asking, "Doesn't the little cat know that Ne Zha can't eat lotus root?"
This type of cute pet-themed storyline is not an isolated case. From "Cat Xiaomao's Market Stall" to similar creations on other platforms, "Universal Cat" has become a mature creative theme. Netizens jokingly say, "Every day guarding a broken vegetable patch, and with eyes wide open, it's just 'picking'."
This phenomenon aligns perfectly with the recent surge in AI-generated content. From modified skits to "Cyber Cricket Fighting," the "failures" and "highlights" of AI essentially validate human creativity.
Although AI may produce more perfect works in the future, those hilarious bugs and unexpected twists will still require the unique creativity of humans to shine. Just like the artistic charm contained in a performer’s glance in classic skits, it cannot be measured by simple data. This unique cultural value is the eternal allure of content creation.
